What We've Been Up To
Shakespeare Schools Festival - Tuesday 25th March 2025
​
Knaresborough Youth Theatre's Intermediate and Advanced Youth Theatre classes had a brilliant time performing at Leeds Playhouse in March as part of Shakespeare Schools Festival!
Knaresborough Youth Theatre has been running since 2021, and has been championing inclusive and accessible theatre practice with specialist SEND qualified workshop leaders, allowing young people to explore their creative skills in a safe, welcoming space. This year, the Intermediate and Advanced groups have enjoyed creating their own version of Hamlet for Shakespeare Schools Festival, reimagining the role of the chorus, integrating communication aids, and rethinking one of Shakespeare's famous tragedies - Hamlet - as a comedy.
Knaresborough Youth Theatre is hugely grateful to their supporters of this fantastic project: Knaresborough Rotary Club, The Happy Wanderers, Stephensons Estate Agents, Knaresborough Parish Charity, Knaresborough Priory Masonic Lodge, and all of the families of their participants for their incredible contributions that made this project possible.
